The first municipal installation using pelleted fuel in the US was in Watertown, S.D. which fired the heating plant for the downtown area in the early 1970’s. They pelleted flax straw for this purpose. The installation operated until the flax grower moved out of town. (Courtesy of Bob Massengill, Pellet Systems Consulting).
